IAF aircraft crashes in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district

@chauvinist
It's the same incident the crash happened near Jh-Or border between Baharagora and Mayurbhanj which are 35-40 km from each other.

Anyways intial reports say pilots reported a bird hit which is likely as incident happened near a bird sanctuary

Aircraft is identified as Bae Hawk with c/n A-3292.
It is only the second crash of Bae Hawk in India and first since 2008.
 
They try to mimic Pakistani crashes took place sometime ago.
But they esteem when it comes to christening a plane......nothing in PAF is called THE FLYING COFFIN.
